Rattana's residence is situated in a safe and quiet neighbourhood away from the bustling traffic noise. The house is very huge, beautiful and sparkling clean. The bedroom and bathroom assigned to us are stylishly furnished with detailed and thoughtful toiletries/ amenities. And the beds were so, so comfortable!
Rattana and her family have been so gracious to accommodate our late night check-in. She also prepared a sumptuous dinner for two very famished travellers upon check-in. She guided us on directions to local spots and eateries, and gave us little gift desserts that were so delicious. :)
Getting to various places in Bangkok from her residence was not really an issue. On the first morning of our stay, we walked all the way to MRT Lad Prao which took us about 20-25 minutes. The only downside was the sweltering heat.
A note to travellers staying here and going to Don Muaeng Airport, we discovered a really cheap and quite efficient option to get there. Cross over Rachada road to the opposite side and wait for bus no 136 to get to Mor Chit BTS station. At Mor Chit, take the pedestrian overhead bridge and cross over the other end and wait for either the A1 or A2 bus to Don Muaeng. And the cost? 36.50 THB. Unbelievable.
I would definitely recommend Rattana's home to travellers and given an opportunity to return to Bangkok, I would firsthand book a room to stay at her gorgeous residence.
